You write it as a ratio eg. SF(large→small)=20:7
Answer:
9x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
(7x + 3) + (4x - 1) - (2x + 4)
Distribute the minus sign
(7x + 3) + (4x - 1) - 2x - 4
Combine like terms
7x+4x-2x +3 -1-4
9x -2
3 + 1.75m
This represents 1.75 per mile plus a one time 3 charge.
Another way this can be written is
(1.75m + 6) - 3
This is a less efficient way, but represents the same. It is 1.75 per mile, this is plus 6, therefore we add the -3 outside the parenthesis so it evens out to +3 as the base charge.
Example: Lets say its 3 miles.
3 + 1.75 (3) = 8.25
(1.75 (3) + 6) - 3 = 8.25
Answer: the trip (one-way) that Alan made on Saturday was 63 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance of the trip that Alan made on Saturday.
Let t represent the time that it took Alan to make the trip on Saturday.
On Saturday, Alan traveled North along minor roads averaging 36 mph to visit a friend.
Distance = speed × time.
Therefore, distance travelled on Saturday would be
x = 36 × t = 36t
On Sunday, he traveled East along main roads averaging 60 mph to visit his mother. The trip to visit his mother was 24 miles longer and took 18 minutes(18/60 = 0.3 hours) less. This means that the distance travelled would be
x + 24 and the time spent would be t - 0.3 hours.
Distance travelled on Sunday would be
x + 24 = 60(t - 0.3)
x + 24 = 60t - 18 - - - - - - -- - - 1
Substituting x = 36t into equation 1, it becomes
36t + 24 = 60t - 18
60t - 36t = 24 + 18
24t = 42
t = 42/24 = 1.75
x = 36t = 36 × 1.75
x = 63 miles
